The Obsidian Series 800D pulls in a Editor's Choice award at Tech Power Up

The Obsidian 800D gives you compete freedom in regard of cooling, with the possibility to install a triple radiator or virtually any air cooler on the market. Even if you fill the chassis to the rim, you can easily keep things perfectly clean, as there are many ways to hide and route the cables.

Legit Reviews likes what they see in the 800D

The Corsair Obsidian Series 800D chassis is an example of what happens when you think outside the box and design something from the ground up. Several of the design features are unique to this chassis and make it stand out from the crowd. It has clearly done well enough to earn our Innovation Award and we can't wait to see what Corsair is planning for their next case design.

Corsair 800D is Recommended by TechReport

"If I could sum up the 800D in one word, it'd be substantial. The Obsidian is a no-nonsense, extra-large case with an impressively uninterrupted, blacked-out aesthetic both inside and out. Even though this is Corsair's first entry into the market, its engineers have designed a case that gets a lot of little things right while also bringing new innovations to the table. I've yet to see a case with a better array of cable-routing punch-outs, making it easy to wire even a crowded system cleanly. The 800D's partitioned cooling zones still leave plenty of room to work inside the case, and the access panel behind the motherboard tray's socket area should greatly simplify heatsink swaps. And then there are the hot-swap drive bays, which are a rare find in desktop enclosures and certainly something a lot of enthusiasts will find both useful and drool-worthy."

OC3D finds the Obsidian Series 800D full tower to be worthy of their innovation award.

You can not deny that this is a good looking well built case, it may be steel but that just adds to the tough sturdy quality feel. The attention to detial is also the best I've seen in any case on the market, even simple things like the front I/O bay kept me amused for ages playing with the pop down door.

Fudzilla considers the Obsidian Series 800D "one of the best"

Obsidian 800D simply swept us of our feet. The in-case room is more than enough for anyone, and so much space makes component access a breeze. Obsidian 800D is designed with all motherboard types in mind, from mATX to EATX, and various water cooling solutions have been thought of as well. Corsair did more than well in covering the critics and propositions from the community and made the Obsidian 800D to cater to highly-demanding customers who look for quality and potential.

The Obsidian Series 800D full tower takes on Lian-Li and Cooler Master in a round-up at Xbit Labs

Corsair gets our praise as its debut Obsidian 800D model will surely enjoy a warm welcome. It seems to be the most versatile product among the three and is one of the few that offers a 4-disk rack (with the hot swap feature) accessed from the front panel. It is also going to be good for users of liquid cooling systems.

PureOC calls the Obsidian Series 800D a worthwhile investment.

An investment like this, and this an investment, is well worth it when balanced against the cost of those valuable components it's designed to house. Showcasing an outstanding mix of style and function, the Corsair Obsidian 800D is an excellent full tower, packed with features to make this the cleanest system build we've ever done.

The Obsidian 800D is a Top Product winner at PC Games Hardware

The corsair Obsidian 800d doesn't have any big weaknesses and offers a lot of detail solutions. A water cooling system and an army of hard drives aren't a problem either. The cooling performance is good and the possibility to put cables out of sight shouldn't make only modders happy. Therefore the Corsair Obsidian 800D receives our Top Product Award.

Overclockers.com has a overwhelmingly positive experience with the Obsidian Series 800D full tower

...with its solid design features for air or water cooled systems, superior cable management options, quality construction materials, hot-swappable SATA bays, and the "wow" factor for size, it's worth the cost, especially if you were looking to mount a up to a 120x3 sized radiator internally.

Maximum PC hearts the Obsidian Series 800D

Although the Thermaltake Level 10 (reviewed Holiday 2009) turned the heads of nearly everyone who saw it, including non-enthusiasts, every enthusiast who came into our Lab was more excited by the Corsair 800D. It's enormous, well built, and crammed with power-user features.

Not only is that case sexy as hell, it has some really cool features for water cooling enthusiast and case modders. Trust me when I say that the Obsidian 800D, with a 1000W power supply, is going to be my next case upgrade.

Guru3D gives their rare "Best Hardware" award to the Obsidian Series 800D

Yes, I am rarely this excited about a chassis, so there's only one thing left to do on our side. I handed it out maybe once or two times this year only... the award for best hardware. Well deserved, what a pleasure it was to review gear like this.

Corsair Obsidian Series 800D wins "Best Case of 2009"

Corsair had been hard at work developing a new chassis long before their first chassis was released in August of 2009. This chassis wasn't a clone of an existing case, but rather a new design from the ground up that was aimed at computer enthusiasts. When we reviewed the chassis in August of 2009 we found that this full size tower was massive, but we fell in love with the space, appearance and functionality.

WOW what a case! Think about this, this is Corsair's first case. Not only that they are a memory company not a case company! They have really taken their time designing this case and it is one of the best cases that I've seen in a while!
